Bizarre coincidence 'spices up' week, police say

By WickedLocal/Cohasset

In what turned out to be a big misunderstanding between a couple and a concerned caller, police responded to Shaw’s Feb. 24 to investigate a report that the caller thought she had been followed and believed the couple in question was going to break into cars, Wicked Local reported.

As it turned out, the two vehicles had arrived around the same time earlier and parked near one another at Stop & Shop.

Police learned later the girlfriend had gone into the supermarket to find a special spice in order to cook her boyfriend a fancy meal that night but was unable to find the spice there.

Then coincidentally at about the same time, the couple and the caller both drove to Shaw’s in their separate vehicles, police said. The woman, who ultimately called police, was concerned she was being followed.

The couple also became concerned when the woman took a cellphone photo of their car outside Shaw’s.

Police talked to all involved and were able to straighten it out.

However, it is unclear if the girlfriend was ever able to find the spice she was looking for.
